Meet The Editors!

Aarna Sharma
Hi! My name is Aarna Sharma, and I’m 13 years old. I’m in 8th grade (which feels way older than it sounds) and I love being creative. Singing, writing, painting, and solving puzzles are some of my favorite hobbies. When I’m not working on school stuff or stage-managing for theatre, I’m usually hanging out with my friends or playing with my very naughty dog. She’s adorable but always up to something! I’ll dive into almost any book as long as it’s not horror (I’m way too much of a scaredy cat for that). I’m also super organized (maybe a little too organized), and I like keeping things neat and planned out.
